Proffer a carrot and he wouldn't crunch it like other horses, but nibble at it from your hand. His running style was as straightforward as his personality: bound out of the barrier, cruise to the lead or park just off it, gallop relentlessly to the line. "He had the reflexes of a springbok," says South African Felix Coetzee, the only jockey to have ridden Silent Witness in a race. "The moment you gave him the signal...

Dogs are often cruelly killed - feet bound, clubbed unconscious and then slaughtered with a knife. Sometimes, their blood is drained to be drunk, ostensibly for medicinal reasons. Dog skin and innards are made into an appetizer by soaking them in vinegar, garlic and ginger.
